War Is Peace: Trump's Regime-Change Reversal President Trump launched a war of regime change in Iran without a plan β€” a move that will demolish America's moral authority in the world.

COMMENTARY: War Is Peace: Trump’s Regime-Change Reversal

If the United States is now kidnapping and killing dictators without direct provocation, it will come back to bite us after demolishing our moral authority in the world.

A Billionaire, a Scientist, and a Secret in the Florida Everglades Thomas Van Lent worked at the Everglades Foundation for 17 years before he was sued and sent to jail after being accused of stealing secrets.

Science vs Politics in the sunshine state."Some members of South Florida’s environmental community wondered whether this project, this crown jewel, was good for the Everglades or good for the Republican Party."

Trump's Iran War Is Built on Lies and Fantasies Donald Trump has no clear objective in mind, let alone a plan to achieve an endgame in Iran. What is America even doing by attacking the nation?

Democrats Are Divorcing Bill Clinton Democrats are finally divorcing Bill Clinton, with party lawmakers voting to force his testimony as part of the GOP's farcical Epstein investigation.

Clinton has pulled off something rare, if not unheard of, in the annals of the presidency: He’s less liked now than when he left office a quarter century ago.

Twenty years ago, I wrote a book about how the death of coal has been hindered by two things: 1) industrial inertia 2) political corruption. I think my thesis holds up, although I wildly underestimated the depth of corruption that has surfaced in Trumpworld.
